titrated
Adjusted by drops
Titrated is the past tense of titrate, a chemistry term for gradually adding measured amounts of a solution to determine concentration or reach a precise reaction point.
Outside the lab, titrated describes any careful, incremental adjustment: The doctor titrated the dosage until she found what worked.
The word implies precision and deliberate calibration rather than guesswork.
